Emamum,
Do you not have any utility bills at all? Water/Council Tax etc?
The Banks are governed by laws that this goverment has put in with regard to what information is required to open an account. Its part of anti Money Laundering regs called KYC(Know your Customer).
I'm anti ID cards as there is no technical reason for them. I do live safe in the knowledge that as the NHS system has shown there is a cat in hells chance that they would ever get one working properly.
